AdjusTABLE: Improved Attachable, Height-Adjustable, and Portable Wheelchair Tray

Ensuring accessibility for wheelchair users is essential in promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities, yet challenges remain, especially regarding infrastructure and public furniture. One common issue is the incompatibility of standard public tables with wheelchair heights, which often results in discomfort or discourages use. While various wheelchair trays have been introduced, many lack stability, ergonomic design, and ease of attachment. To address these shortcomings, we developed AdjusTABLE—a portable, height-adjustable, and foldable tray designed with ergonomic comfort and user convenience. Using empathy maps and focus group discussions, we created a tray that holds drinks, pens, phones, and personal belongings, improving usability and independence.
